The pic on Housewife is pretty close to JAFAAC; what I'm seeing is a woman in an old-fashioned dress, possibly a maid, with the caption "Cult of Rapture" underneath. Nothing about this suggests to me that she's a housewife; the trope defines itself as "being in the kitchen and lovingly counseling her children because she is The Heart of the family" and the image shows none of that.

Suggested replacement, this or that (last panel) or this one. Googling "housewife" brings up lots of pictures of women doing household tasks.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

None of these are substantially different than the one up there now. They all portray the stereotype.
